Chapter 677: The True Great Power Hand (Part II)
A few weeks later, an unconfirmed piece of news spread among the dignitaries of various countries, China and the Soviet Union suddenly ceased hostilities, quickly approached, and reached a lot of consensus on this, and for a time the argument about the normalization of diplomatic relations between China and the Soviet Union became a common view among observers in various countries, and even some optimistic Eastern European countries estimated that China and the Soviet Union would re-enter the honeymoon period of the early fifties!
In the face of the rapid progress of the Sino-Soviet negotiations, the Soviet leader who only likes to focus on the country was very surprised, but then he was overjoyed, without exception, this sudden achievement was assigned to his own name, as a political ~~ governance asset to seize the supreme leadership in the future.
For the heartlessness of Go~Er~Ba~Qiao~Fu, the United States has overturned the five-flavor bottle in the face of this situation, which can be described as sweet and sour, bitter and salty, and it is very unpleasant, especially Lamitich, who is the driving force behind the scenes, is even more complicated to the extreme, he never expected that China's tough posture is just a necessary means to engage with the Soviet Union.
I didn't expect that the high-level and military of the Soviet Union, who had been tough to the end in the field of international relations, would abandon their long-standing routines, take the initiative to bow their heads, and make concessions to China; so that Lamitage was a little unbelievable for a long time, and he was even more caught off guard, only thinking that the leaders of China and the Soviet Union were all big politicians with extraordinary vision~~~ rulers, and master figures in the big international strategic chess game, otherwise, they would never have made such a clever political ~~~ governance election.
Thousands of miles away, if Go~Er~Ba~Qiao~Fu, who knew that the bigwigs behind the scenes of the United States spoke highly of him in such a perfunctory decision, he did not know if he would be so beautiful that he would have bubbled up with big snot; but one thing is certain, that is, if Lamitage knew that Go~Er~Ba~Qiao~Fu was close to China, it was just to suppress the military, and as a means of internal political ~~~ governance, he would inevitably vomit blood three times.
Of course, at this moment, the two don't know what the other party is thinking, especially Lamitage, he has no time to think about what kind of strategic considerations the sudden approach between China and the Soviet Union is, but to stop China from moving closer to the Soviet Union at all costs, you must know that as the largest developing country, a permanent member of the Security Council and a legitimate ~~~ nuclear state, Lamitage has always regarded China as a huge variable that can change the world;
Therefore, this behind-the-scenes boss in Washington has always pursued the pursuit of tying China to the chariot of the United States and jointly dealing with the evil Soviet Union, whether it is to give the most favored nation treatment in the positive economic field or to make China throw a mouse in the wrong way on the issue of the T region, in essence, to make China obediently obey the words of the United States.
However, in the face of the fact that China and the Soviet Union quickly released their previous suspicions, all the US political ~~~ political elites, including Ramitich, had to re-examine the previous unfavorable "carrot and stick" policy, and was it really feasible to force China with the most-favored-nation trade treatment?
It was only at this time that the political elites of the United States suddenly discovered that the country they wanted to control was not the groveling small countries in Europe, Latin America, and Southeast Asia, but a big country with a splendid civilization of 5,000 years and a far-reaching history.
Moreover, in addition to wisdom, this ancient nation called the Chinese nation also did not lose its iron blood and courage; when the enemy was strong and we were weak, they made unnecessary sacrifices and fought to the death with Japan, which was the largest in Asia at that time, for eight years; in an environment where all indicators were greatly backward, they fought hard for three years with the US army, which was armed to the teeth, in Korea.
Perhaps it is China's reform and opening up in recent years that has blurred the image of China that originally stood up for the gun and forged ahead in the minds of American elites, as if it had really become a harmless little rabbit to humans and animals, but when he was possessed by black belly, his eyes were shining, and he grabbed the bricks, who could confidently control this rabbit who could go crazy at any time?
"I really didn't expect that the Chinese still had the intention of restoring relations with the Soviet Union, and I didn't expect that the Soviet Union also had the intention of releasing the past suspicions!"
Ramitage sat on the comfortable sofa, rubbing his eyebrows vigorously with his hands, his pale face was indescribably tired, just like a sleepless job for days and nights, but only US Assistant Secretary of State Baker, who was sitting next to him, knew that Ramitage's "exhaustion" was not caused by fatigue, but by anxiety in his heart!
You must know that Lamitage regards China as a huge variable that changes the current strategic balance, so whether it is co-optation or coercion, it is to tie China to the chariot of the United States, so that the United States will gain a huge strategic advantage in the global hegemony with the Soviet Union;
The reverse is also true, if the Soviet Union has the support of China, then the Soviet Union will no longer have any worries in the Far East, and the United States will not be able to stop it head-on at all, and will only stare at the occurrence of fait accompli
"It seems that we will not only suspend arms sales to the T region, but also stop for a long time, and even need to sign a joint communiqué with China involving the T region!"
"Yes!"
Lamitage didn't speak, just nodded with a gloomy face, the T region is a rare good card in his hand, so when receiving the confrontation between China and the Soviet Union, Lamitage strongly advocated suspending arms sales to the T region, but did not seal this opening, and once China has a recurrence, it will make a fuss with arms sales to force China to comply.
However, this card can be used appropriately in the case of huge interests between China and the United States, but if China and the Soviet Union resume their honeymoon relations in the early fifties, China's attitude towards this card will become unpredictable.
China, which is more important to the global interests of the United States in order to stabilize the United States, is the core interest of the United States, not to mention that the T region is originally the hairy dog of the grandchildren, no matter how much they sell and make transactions, the soft bones on this small island will not, let alone have the slightest complaint, so on the issue of the T region, Ramitage has never been worried, he is worried about another thing:
"Isn't there any other alternative? Tanks, artillery, armored vehicles, and even army tactical missile technology on the ground can be given to them."
"But they only need aviation technology!" Before Ramitage could finish speaking, Baker, who was in charge of secret communication with China, shook his head helplessly:
"The Chinese officials who contacted us were very professional, especially a young man, who opened his mouth on key technologies and core issues, and it was difficult for our experts to find his loopholes, to be honest, if it weren't for his Chinese face, I would really think that young man was a senior engineer at the 'Skunk' factory!" (The Skunk Factory is a legendary aircraft manufacturing plant of Lockheed Martin in the United States, and many famous fighters in the US military are produced and developed by this factory)
Hearing Baker's words, Lamitage fell into a long silence again, his deep blue eyes flickering and spinning, and his thin lips pursed and pursed, as if he had made another difficult decision, until a moment later, he slowly raised his eyes and said to Baker:
"No matter what kind of capable people they have, it doesn't matter, the most important thing is not to let China get advanced aviation technology, now the army is strong China is already difficult to control, once they have the same powerful air force, we want to start again is really a fool's dream!"
"What then?"
"You can delay it first, but if you can't sign a sales agreement for the whole machine, for example, in the field of helicopters that China urgently needs, you can appropriately relax the latest models, of course, in order to cooperate with the bottom line of aviation technology, you can relax the conditions in other aspects, especially in terms of investment and most-favored-nation treatment, you can give China a clear guarantee."
Lamitage is worthy of being the uncrowned king of Washington and the master of the international strategic chess game, just a moment to come up with a set of practical countermeasures, and then give China huge concessions in economic and other aspects, the core technology such as aviation is controlled to the fullest, Baker, who was sitting next to him, nodded secretly, and silently wrote down the highest instructions of this political ~~ governance boss
A few weeks later, in Beijing!!, in the heavily guarded Xiangshan villa, the old chief, wearing heavy reading glasses, looked at the minutes of the talks just signed between China and the United States that he had just received, nodded with satisfaction, and then raised his eyes, looked at the young man sitting next to him with a somewhat lonely expression, and smiled kindly:
"Xiao Lu Tong~~~ Zhi, your mood today is not high!"
"Old chief, I just don't understand!"
"Speak up and listen!"
"I think that if we work harder, we may be able to get the United States to transfer aviation technology, even if it is not the latest, it will also have a great benefit to our aviation industry, why?"
"Why didn't you chase it and take it down in one fell swoop?"
The old chief's smile did not decrease, looking at Lu Jiadong who frowned, and Lu Jiadong nodded sincerely, the old chief's kind smile gradually converged, and his weather-beaten eyes revealed an awe-inspiring coldness, and said word by word:
"Because Go~Er~Ba~Jo~Fu has changed his mind!"
Lu Jiadong was slightly stunned, but the old chief's words did not stop there: "As early as after the battle of Zhongyue Prison Mountain, Xiaoping Tong~~ Zhi, as well as our old guys, discussed how to use the power of this battle to fight for the peaceful development of our country in the next 20 years.
Fortunately, the Soviet Union has a Go~Er~Ba~Qiao~Fu, who is eager to take the position, he wants to suppress the military, so he can't let the military come nonsense, but this young offspring is not sincere enough, so he can't expect too much, but this is enough to make the United States nervous, and give us enough favorable conditions Of course, I just didn't expect that the insincere Go~Er~Ba~Qiao~Fu would become so fast!"
The old chief said with some regret and some regret, but there is also a vertical and horizontal killing decisiveness between the eyebrows, just like the Go everyone above the nine sections, even if the game is anxious, but there is still a certainty of victory, what is a big hand, this is the real big hand (to be continued.) )
